The Ducks won the gam e 34-33 after scoring tw o touchdow ns in the final 72 seconds. “ Errors clearly were m ade and not corrected, and for that we apolo gize to the University o f O klahom a, coach Bob Stoops and his play ers," Pac-10 C om m issioner Tom Hansen said in a statem ent. "They played an outstanding college foot ball gam e, as did Oregon, and it is regrettable that the outcom e o f the contest was affected by the offici ating.” A fter the S o o n e rs’ p rac tice M onday night, Stoops said the apology brought him no satisfac tion. “At least they have reacted to it and tried. Truly there can be no am ends to it and it ca n ’t be cor rected," Stoops said.
